Snuff Taking IN Public

a bland and elderly man strobe pom.
pously down the aisle Of the Casino the other
night, passed gently to his seat, smoothed
his bald head, folded his hands and turned
his attention to the play. He looked Ike a
Scotchman, and his manner was entirely
self contained and serene. Three very small
diamonds sparkled IN the bosom Of his shirt
and he stared at the stage through single
glass. After the curtain had dropped on
the first act be looked around a moment
with languid curiosity, and then settling
back In his seat he took a jeweled snuff boz
from his -vaistcoat pocket, tapped 1t gently,
raised the lid and applied q pinch OF snuff
to his nose with his hand twisted over back
ward and his elbow high in the air, after the
fashion OF men who believe IN taking snuff
with all the external forms and fourishes
which naturally belong to the action. Then
he snapped tho lid Of the box and replaced it
in his waistcoat pocket. wl.iahcd few
grains Of snuff from his waistcoat with his
handkerchief, screwed his glass in his eye
again and folded his hands.
An instant later the lady who sat on his
left seized both arms of her seat with her
cloved hands, threw back her head and
sueczod seven times with the rapidity Of
lightning, ending up with shrek Of bafled
proteStation 4 severe looking lady who
sat on the other side of the Scotchman
turned her face toward the snoezer with an
expression OF one who is aghcst at such an
exhibition Of Ill taste, and then, falling a
victim to the snuff herself, shook violently
and sneezed twice under cover. SO TO speak.
Her internal connmotion was something
tumultuous and awful. She shook, strug-
gled and palpitated, but only feeble little
wheeze escaped to allow the world TO know
that she was really in the act Of saeezinSs.
By this time a man in the seat behind the
Scotchman gave loud, distinct and 1nascu-
line snort, and then the little comedy came
to an end, with the Scotchmau still sitting
placidly indifferent, the two women coloricg
furiously, and therest Of the audience laugh
ing good humoredly. The only man in the
house who seemed utterly unconscious Of
VIVA. was going on was tie Scotchman
himelf; but he evidently knew OF the havoc
he had created. for he did not again take
his snuff box out Of his pocket, though at
least thousand people hoped against hope
that he would New York Letter.

A Nuveltv in POrtrafte.

While walking up Fifth avenue enc
evening recently a New York reporter
noticed the bust of \ woman on the gold
tinted shades which adorned the window
of q fashionable residence. The supp0si-
ton at first was that the shade reflected
the figure OF some belle within, but closer
inspection established the fact that 1t was
the image of a prominent star actress
artistically painted or the shade. 6lanc-
ing nt the shade OF the other window, the
bust of the immortal Grant was seen.
The old generals face was well repro
duced They are hand painted; but the
greatest feature of the novelty is that the
features are invisible during the day,
owing to chemical process known only
